Didn't expect this to occur this fast, I was expecting by the end of the year.

Cheers!

(I will update the record posts when I get around to it )

Terrific! Checked listprimerecords and it's not mine or maybe it is my ypool block ?

I did some investigating and there was only one person on Ypool that found a block around that time. The address didnt match their name so its not them. I think it was someone who was solomining that found the chain. I know from talking in ypools chat that someone has probably found 11 and 12 chains.

For those interested, I've programmed a bot to screen the blockchain for new record breaking primechains. You can follow it on twitter https://twitter.com/OldEee_Miner. Apart from record primes it also tweets about the price and it's own (really, really slow) mining efforts.

Thanks . I just got to know from the page that even for a 13-chain the difficulty is still 10.

can you please explain me what i am reading? I am not familiar with those mathematics/numbers/statistics. Although as a physics guy i am intrigued to research more about primecoin.

The first number is the length of the chain; it describes how many primes the chain consists of. It is conjectured that there are infinitely many chains of any length. The second symbol denotes the type of chain. 1CC and 2CC are Cunningham chains of different kinds, while TWN is a bi-twin chain. The following list of numbers tells how many digits the largest starting primes have.
